Small Wonders Wednesday

As mentioned in my previous post we have been enjoying s'mores this summer. Well that is thanks to a handy-dandy fire pot I learned how to make on Pinterest( where else do we find ideas). We have talked about a fire pit and looked at them but we always talk ourselves out of one. I ran across this idea on pinterest and knew this was the solution to our problems.

The idea I found was for table top fire pots, I used the same idea only on a larger scale. I took a terracotta flower pot I had, lined it with heavy duty foil added match light charcoal and Ta-Da a fire pot. The nice thing was all I had to buy was the charcoal and it was on sale and had fuel saver discounts(Hy-Vee perks), so it was a very cheap and easy project. I do not have a great picture of it but I think you get the idea, so nice when you don't want to spend a lot of money. I am thinking about trying to find a bigger pot and see what would happen if you burned small pieces of wood in it, so it would give off a little more heat. This one is great for roasting things but it would be nice to have a little heat for some of our cool Iowa nights. Well hoped you enjoyed seeing my little project, I would love to know if you have been making any fun this summer.
